CALABASAS – Former NFL player Corey Dillon was arrested today near Calabasas for allegedly driving drunk.

Dillon, 35, was taken into custody about 3:40 a.m. on northbound Mulholland Drive near the Ventura (101) Freeway, said Lt. Rich Erickson of the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station.

Dillon was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and was released on a citation to appear at the Malibu courthouse on June 21, Erickson said.

Two deputies were driving north on Mulholland Drive when they saw a red 2010 Chevrolet Camaro with paper plates and two male occupants “driving slowly behind them” and “conducted a traffic stop to verify the vehicle’s registration,” Erickson said.

“Mr. Dillon displayed multiple symptoms of being under the influence, and he admitted to having been drinking earlier in the evening,” the lieutenant said.

Dillon played with the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots.
